Books of November & December 2009

Since I started reading again, voraciously, I decided that it was time to finish publishing my complete list of books that I read in 2009. In total, I’ve read 63 books in 2009. For 2010, I’ve only read 5 books, most of them in April and May. At the same time last year, I had read about 25. I think that I’ll continue keeping a list. As long as I read 52 books in 2010, I’ll be happy. I tend to read in spurts. Sometimes, I need a break.

If you must know, I read House of Suns again a few weeks ago. It’s definitely one of my favorite books. I want to read Ilium and Olympos by Dan Simmons again. I also need to stock up on books. One of the reasons why I haven’t read that many books this year is because I haven’t bought any new ones since last year. I’ll go to the library on the weekend to pick up a few nice reads.

[¹]: I read this book again. It’s fabulous.
[²]: I read these books a few years ago. My mom really liked them, I didn’t. At least that what she tried to tell me before I borrowed them again. I’m going to write a post about what bugged me about them.
[³]: Reading this book was an incredible experience. I had to leave it with my parents in Quebec. It was too heavy to take with me. Luckily my mother-in-law sent me another copy of this book to Taiwan. I can read it again. This book deserves to be read a few times.
[⁴]: I read these three books again in the month of August. Since they were quite long, it took most of the month to get through the trilogy.
[⁵]: As I mentioned before, I just had to read these books again. The Temporal Void just made me want to read them again.
[⁶]: This wasn’t a very good book. It’s a book for young adults and I didn’t really like it that much. Some parts were good, but others were bad.
